Ramkrishnapur ghat (Chintamani Ghat)

Aniruddha Karmakar

The Chintamani Ghat is situated at Shibpur Howrah. The ghat was established by Chintamani Dey. Swami Vivekananda came here by boat along with his disciples in 1898. He came to the house of Sri Nabagopal Ghosh, at Ramkrishnapur chanting the name of Sri Ramakrishna. He worshipped Sri Ramakrishna here. After puja is over and taking his food, he gladly donated his Pagri (Turban) to the wife of Nabagopal Babu. Till now it is kept under their custody with great care. The ghat has a beautiful cast iron architecture. West Bengal Heritage Commission declared it as Heritage in 2017 under the West Bengal Heritage Commission Act, 2001.
